"A bunch of flavors and different options of how to get your ice cream (cone, dish, milkshake, sundae, float, frappe, ice cream cookie toppings and syrup.) They always have a friendly staff. It’s located in the perfect place in town to walk to or for a family to go after a sports game, lunch/dinner or a hot day in the sun."

"Wow, their small portion of hard ice cream is two huge scoops! They have many flavors to choose from including 3 peanut butter flavors. The servers behind the window were hustling to get the orders out every time we have been there."

"Milkhouse Ice Cream is great! They have a great selection of hard ice cream, and some soft serve (Vermonters call them creemees) as well! The building is cute, it’s conveniently located right next to a gas station with ample parking, and prices are SUPER reasonable compared to other ice cream places I’ve been to in Vermont. They have an amazing selection of sundaes!! They even have one that has apple cider donut holes and maple creemee on top! That’s the most Vermont-style ice cream sundae ever and it is AWESOME! I would highly recommend this sundae, and it’s also worth trying their flavor-burst creemees as well. This is certainly one of the better food options in St. Johnsbury - I will definitely be returning when I’m back in this area!"
